Also thought I’d share my updated version of the init.d script.
A few changes: JAXERBASE need only be exported once, and I’ve implemented commands as functions so they can be extended and so we can add a restart command.

#!/bin/sh
. /lib/lsb/init-functions

export JAXERBASE=/opt/AptanaJaxer
jaxer_start ()
{
/opt/AptanaJaxer/scripts/startJaxer.sh
}
jaxer_stop ()
{
/opt/AptanaJaxer/scripts/stopJaxer.sh
}
jaxer_restart ()
{
jaxer_start
jaxer_stop
}

case “$1″ in
start)
jaxer_start
;;
stop)
jaxer_stop
;;
restart|reload)
jaxer_restart
;;
*)
log_success_msg “Usage: /etc/init.d/jaxer {start|stop|restart|reload}”
exit 1
;;
esac

Hi,
You should also run:
“sudo update-rc.d jaxer defaults 90 10″
after you have created the /etc/init.d/jaxer script.
This simply registers jaxer to start before apache2 (which usually starts at sequence number 91 at default runlevels) and to kill jaxer after apache2 (which usually is killed at sequence number 09 at default runlevels).
This way, if you reboot the system, it will all load properly.

Thanks a lot, you managed to smooth a few kinks out of this tedious task but for me one problem remains, Whenever I try to use the jaxer-service stuff, i get weird bugs and this seems to pop up in the logs:

“Jaxer is the handler for this request but it’s not a callback or other recognized request type.”

Any tips?

Thanks from me, too – could not work it out from the official docs and got no response on the forum till I found a link to this. Ta.

Thanks!

I added PHP to the filter so I could also use Jaxer within my PHP applications as well. It lets you start doing some pretty cool stuff

Kudos from me as well; it’s great when you can just copy and paste the commands, and they work AS IS. I’m not a server guru, just a code monkey, so it’s great to have these guides out there.

Why did you register php to go to the JaxerFilter?

Awesome, glad I could help

This was a brilliant guide, I got up and running with Jaxer on my Linode based server in no time. Thanks!

I ended up spending more time figuring out how vi works than the rest of the setup time took, so I ended up installing nano immediately after setting up Jaxer
